How much money is too much to spend in one week on manga? I've noticed my paychecks lately going towards this a lot, and thought it would be a fun topic to see what people think is TOO much spending in a week on manga?

Yeah bills and food first then decide out of how much is left you want to save for Manga. These days Manga is expensive, not like when I first started reading it and you could buy an issue for $3 so buying five or ten at a time wasn't that big a deal. Nowadays that will cost you nearly $100!

$3? I'm way jealous. I've found almost prefect condition used manga for $5.50 and new $7.99 at a bookstore in my area called Powell's books. They have a great selection too. But I've still spent like $60 in the past week or so on it.

I've started buying digital manga where I can, but otherwise I'll try to buy 2-3 volumes at a time when I have the money, which is probably only a couple times a year. I don't live by Powells, stuck with Barnes and Noble and they don't really have that great of a selection.

I should add that this was 20 years ago. I still have most of the manga I bought back then in fact.

Yeah, I feel very lucky having a bookstore like that in my city. If I didn't I would probably mostly use Amazon. I've just been reading them so much lately it's been hard to not buy them. But usually, I will do 2-3 volumes at a time as well.
